syrian troops drive the rebels out of the capital suburbs the spicing moves to aleppo the country's largest city and a key stronghold of president assad. pages update new findings reveal how government snooping that's meant to type and tweet on the internet social networks carried under will be held against you because. it's billed outrage literally in front of the european parliament or is it how major food industry thinks is the milk that profit. international news live for most go this is all she was me thanks for joining us

first syrian government sources claim to have regained control of damascus suburbs crushing the rebels most daring offensive on the country's capital says down rest began it's now the city of aleppo that's bearing the brunt of the conflict with clashes between the army and opposition lytton's were running for several days on a boycott resiliency or explains the shifting dynamics of the fighting. arts he was one of the few if not the only four in the crew that was able to travel to the last in three months ago and from what we've seen there i can tell you that he's a very peculiar case for this whole syrian struggle no where you can see the kind of virgins of the genuine democratic movement and pure criminal activity so that the s. and ls on one hand aleppo is home to a major university so a lot of people you meet there are liberally minded intellectuals they oftentimes disagree with the policies of bashar assad many of them call on him to step down

but at the same time they strongly object the use of kalashnikovs who are any political games they don't want that democracy to be delivered through these very bloody conflicts through these very bloody struggle on the other hand aleppo is home to many militia groups this is probably because it's far more closer to the north and to the turkish border that is used to supply all those arms and in the letter you hear at a lot of stories a lot of cases of industrial terrorism where shops and factories for sat on fire simply because their owners refused to pay the so-called revolutionary tax that the free syrian army attempted to impose on local businesses there are also a lot of cases of kidnappings and those kidnappings are carried out not so much for political aims or goals but rather simply for ransom so a lever is indeed

a very important strategic location for both the army and the opposition and the battle for aleppo will be very important in determining the balance of power of the distribution of forces in these seventeen month long syrian conflict. so the rebels themselves describe their offensive on aleppo as an operation to liberate the city but the edits have independent media channel syria tribune south that claim france for one. to liberate the city from its own people that's what they need and i actually saw far for the past fifteen months and has shown nothing but great support to the syrian government that the president. this was manifested by huge rallies several times. the issue the idea of the opposition failed repeatedly to demonstrate in the city to show their their size in peaceful demonstrations or armed battles they reverted to recruiting others from other areas

and have them circulate the area in the countryside but not inside the city so far . and our correspondents on the ground in syria do their best to inform you on what's really going on in the conflict torn country by that twitter think he's a fan of michael is describing how the life of the baskets is starting to get back to normal but despite that still an impression that there are more times than taxes in the syrian capital so you can follow her first hand accounts attacks on a boy underscore. it's.

social networks like facebook and twitter see many uses posting their entire lines online chattering stories and pictures with friends but it seems even the strictest online privacy settings are no match for spying eyes of governments around the world from new york artie's marina partner explain. in the land of social media users tweet tag friends upload and share information at any given moment in the land of the free what americans post online can and will be used against them. according to twitter of the nearly twelve hundred government requests for user data filed in the first half of this year nearly eighty percent came from the u.s. government the micro message company says it complied with seventy five percent of user data washington requested social media in general twitter and facebook being prime examples of that are

a part of an ever increasingly invasive police state in the united states it's it's not just about surveillance and about tracking and monitoring this is the way in which they're consolidating control in the past year u.s. judges have forced twitter to turn over private or deleted data on users as part of investigations related to wiki leaks or occupy wall street. the ruling according to reports allows prosecutors access to tweets and additional information stored by twitter including the e-mail and ip address of a user it's more of more than just invasion of privacy it's about destroying the concept of privacy online at a recent conference called hackers on planet earth former national security agent william binney detailed the demise of u.s. privacy protection which he says has been carried out by washington for more than a decade it was the right. to do more than we could have.

decided to begin. with it's been the spend thirty seven years working for the n.s.a. before resigning to blow the whistle on what he calls the creation of an orwellian state of the robot or for the areas. that we see everything. he. at the height of his career binney served as technical director for n.s.a. s m group a branch that was reportedly responsible for eavesdropping on the world today he estimates that the n.s.a. has secretly compiled and stored more than twenty trillion files of e-mails phone calls and other data belonging to u.s. citizens when it comes to social media he says even users with the strictest security settings are not protected the reality of that is that that's not private at all if the companies don't have the government doesn't have it so either of them

have it or they share with the unobstructed sharing of information is what's made half a billion people flock to social media sites like twitter but missing from the terms of agreement is the monitoring that can be taking place says citizens are bursting their short messages into the virtual world. r.t. new york. this is the head of the program a look at those two certainties in life death and taxes and how they love to doesn't apply to the world of coverage a new report uncovers how the wealthiest and the phasing tuxes lining their pockets with enough money to cure many of the world's debt problems it's. also amazing as the rich poor divide to get some wives of desperation takes over as are not the israelis sets himself on fire committing suicide in protest at his government's policies. good leverage sure. to build

welcome back scenes of violence have become common for adulterate in europe. spilling onto the streets but now it's milk that's being spilled are targeted by farmers desperate to draw attention to that cause and they're doing it right outside the european parliament to make their point. and now reports. milk farmers have sprayed their fields with millions of readers of milk in protest stormed any peace in strasbourg. that year after year they feel sometimes their voices are not heard when those policies are to the band and therefore they feel they have no choice but to take their voices all the way to brussels. quite literally as hundreds of farmers from across europe tractors and cow statues in tow tested against dropping milk prices and are lobbying lawmakers

to take their interests into account in reforming policy yeah that's probably supermarkets that they. are saying. the price will be it's the big supermarket chains one day banking and energy giants the next day well critics say those who end up getting their way the end are almost always the big guys with deep pockets commission as a whole consults much more with big corporate interests. than with all other kinds of interests in society they lead to very unbalanced decisions that are not serving the public interest in a recent report found that in the e.u. commission straight enterprise department expert groups that give a crucial policy shaping advice are made up mainly of corporate representatives while farmers for example have a tiny zero point one percent share of the voice. and they hope

this adds a bit of volume to their cause in the moccasin it's always a good idea. whenever a proposal you have to come to brussels and to organize a protest if you if you do it of course in a peaceful way but instead the final democratic health but one of the biggest corporate lobbies in the e.u. finds no fault in business as usual a decision or a. policy which is sort of biased black or white into either totally environmental or totally corporate interests it's not exist yet these people would certainly disagree they say in the end it's hardly ever the people who persistently take to the streets that run the real show. does or so you are to brussels. the world separate chair hiding over twenty one trillion dollars in tax havens a giant black hole in the global economy the figure comes from

a recent tax transparency report which suggests hidden money from the lead in designations could been up to significantly improve their finances the report's author james henry says the loopholes and tax rules the wealthy it's time to track democracy. but i think one of the ironies is that some of the biggest players in this assman in the street are major banks that received a lot of government assistance in the bail of the top ten banks include five u.s. banks that received billions and billions of dollars meanwhile there are you helping the richest people on the planet park their assets abroad and invade taxes so you know there is a there's a real policy problem here we have to cut county gristly this so-called banking industry once and for all you know this example of tax evasion so powerful example where you have relatively tiny group having its way with democracy basically having

too much influence or the pass laws of course is that result from that so that you know this is a real challenge to our system as well as to our economy has been a lot of rhetoric of. cracking down on secrecy jurisdictions but i think this has been disappointing two thousand and nine we have the g. twenty talking basically about to try to crack down on so-called secrecy jurisdictions where a lot of this money flows nothing has been done really nothing substantial. and don't forget all the stories we're covering here one else here also on our web site and that's always plenty mostly online like hushing up the huzzard a company still contaminating the fukushima power plant in japan has been encouraging its workers to record of fake radiation readings. also that a no no to big bottles of the big things you expect he's calling for binding the sale of soda drinks and large container is not all seized team kirby is trying to

the. tune which brightened if you knew me with song from phones to. start on t.v. dot com. and now it's time to take a look at some other stories making headlines around the world this hour a number of blasts in north of the iraqi capital baghdad have left twenty eight people dead police say bombs were planted near five houses and detonated killing

seventeen people when security forces arrived at the scene a suicide bomber blew himself up taking the lives of levon policeman it's only a day after the new leader of al qaeda in iraq posted an order message warning a resurgence and more attacks to come. in they do us to police officers have been placed on paid leave for their alleged role in the fatal shooting at an armed man their local chief of police said the reason of the shooting is under investigation for them to lead to violent clashes between officers and enraged witnesses who stormed the police department on sunday. funnies are protesting against their arrival of twelve also about aircrafts to local u.s. marines base which has again provoked tension over the u.s. military presence that the australia has suffered a number of crashes raising concerns over its safety record so these have shown

that seventy one percent of people in the uk in our prefecture are opposed to the u.s. base that. i will try using all the veteran and social justice protester has set himself up. in israel is the second such incident and fifth attempt in a week with the previous one coinciding with mass rallies against government policies and. who's a public housing activist and a regular demonstrations says the leadership is ignoring its citizens cries for help. i think what people are feeling is despair and this is what people are trying to say to our government. people are dying here every week people are committing suicide they do it in their homes they're doing it far away from our eyes but this happens here all the time people are not dying here of hunger but they are dying of despair binyamin. throughout his political career has always

had a new liberal economic view which is pro privatization which is the whole idea is that poor people have to handle themselves. and this is what we have seen and throughout his career so i am not surprised that binyamin netanyahu is not answering us very quickly i am surprised that our minister of housing does not understand that either he gives real solutions to people or he should resign from this government. and later this hour the focus is shifting from social turmoil to political problems and a zero with the conflict that's lasted for decades debated in pizza levels cross-talk. city and my parents were born there my grandparents are buried there my great grandparents are buried there i would like you to tell me why you a new york born white jewish man with no apparent.

my home payments to greece as its austerity program is proving ineffective on friday speed also lowered its a g.d.p. estimates for this year for next year and twenty point t. this hour as you can see they took is the case shedding almost two percent of the banks so dragging home kong down more than two and a quarter percent at this point and speaking of banks j.p. morgan chase c.e.o. jamie diamond has bought the bank's stock worth seventeen million dollars he hopes this will convince investors that the worst of the crisis is over j.p. morgan has lost around seven billion dollars last year but managed to post a five billion dollars profit in the second quarter and let's not check out the european currency to see how it's reacting to all the bad news and what we're seeing there is that it's actually losing value although ever so slightly to the u.s. dollar and it's a hit an eleven year low against the japanese yen that's after spain's valencia region has asked madrid for something natural help fueling worries that the

european price is actually deepening the russian ruble this hour is losing value to the major currencies and looking at the russian markets the situation is pretty dire there is a. well in my success chatting around one percent the r.t.s. is more than one and a half percent following in asia's footsteps and busters are basically leaving the risky assets really in the emerging markets eighty one million dollars have valente the funds that invest in of russia last week we're seeing capital outflow for a third straight month on week in all the data and let's check out the biggest movers on the my six they include the t v which is a shedding value despite some good news italy's banks will lend to russia's e.t.v. a two hundred seventy million euro to renovate sports infrastructure in moscow the deal was signed this morning during italy's prime minister mario monti's visit to

all demand the world's population is still increasing combine that with the vast increases in wealth in the developing world people across asia and elsewhere want more food and more meat in their diets because they can afford it that's where chicken comes in it's easy to produce involve quantities and a lot of efficiency has gone into it that means that it's going to make up a lot more of people's diets up to perhaps thirty percent along with other food sources that people want more of going on to supply simply isn't enough land in the world anymore that means people are going to have to increase productivity on the land that already exists the overall conclusions of the reports are that the demand for higher quality food more meter things in people's diets means that it's simply going to have to get more expensive. while and if it gets any more expensive than this i think the solution would really be to start eating
